I am looking at Thrift to see if I can use it in a little project of mine. So far I built Thrift without errors, but have not tested it yet. And I went through the documentation on the wiki.
I have a couple of questions. Thrift generates RCP code for client and server. I don't need that. I am just looking for a tool that I can use to serialize and deserialize to a string. Can I use Thrift for this narrow purpose? If yes, what would be the equivalent of SerializeToString in Protocol Buffers? >From what I read it should be possible to serialize in a C++ function and desirialize in a C function. Many languages are supported in Thrift. Is the support for C_GLIB as good and stable as that for C++ for my intended narrow purpose of serializing to a string?
